Haulage Driver Crisis - EU-Created, Of Course!

Action is needed to avert UK haulage driver crisis.

Posted on March 19

UKIP Transport spokesman Jill Seymour says action is needed in the haulage industry to address a serious shortage of lorry drivers. UKIP has pledged to scrap the EU’s controversial Certificate of Professional Competence, which is driving thousands of drivers out of the industry.

She said: “The Freight Transport Association believes more than 20,000 drivers have quit in the past six months, leaving the country with a serious shortage of delivery drivers.

“And unless the situation is urgently addressed, it could start 

to hit the food chain to such a degree that, in the worst case 

scenario, may even lead to empty shelves on our supermarkets.”
